The sea apple is a round, colourful sea cucumber that lives in the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific. It filters tiny floating food from the water with its feathery tentacles. It is special because it can release a toxin into the water when it is stressed, which can harm other sea creatures nearby.1

Sea apples feed mainly on plankton, which they filter from the water with their tentacles. They bring each tentacle to the mouth in turn and scrape off the trapped plankton.1

Lan la daŋar bi ci yaramam di def?

Sea apples release a toxic saponin called holothurin into the water when they are stressed. Saponin is a chemical that is harmful to other organisms. In aquariums, this toxin can poison other animals living nearby.1

Its toxin can poison other aquarium inhabitants, and this is one reason sea apples are not commonly kept in aquariums.1

Lan lay def bu tiitee?

When disturbed, sea apples can violently push out their internal organs through their rear end, a process called evisceration. They can also release their toxin into the water.1

Xibaar

1

Sea apples can swell to nearly double their original size by drinking large amounts of seawater when threatened or in an unsuitable environment.1

2

Their swollen bodies let water currents carry them to a new area, which is much quicker than walking.1

3

In aquariums, sea apples often starve because plankton levels are lower than they need, and they try to feed in the daytime too.1

4

Hermit crabs and fish often peck at sea apple tentacles, either to eat them or to steal the food caught in them.1

5

Sea apples usually feed at night, when their delicate tentacles are less at risk from predators.1

Tasukatu léeb

Xalaat bu juum: Sea apples are safe for reef aquariums.

Dëgg: Sea apples are considered reef safe for their compatibility with other species. However, they are unsafe for reef aquariums for other reasons, including starvation and the toxin they release.1
